Statements of Faith - I'm A Whosoever

 


JOHN 3:16
 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

ROMANS 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved. 

WHO ARE THE "WHOSOEVERS/WHOEVERS"?

Revelation 22:14 and 17 tell us they are the people who have washed their robes; who have had their sins washed away by the blood of God's Lamb Jesus Christ. 
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. 
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.

1 John 5:11, 12
And this is that Testimony: God has given us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son.  Whoever has The Son has life; whoever does not have The Son of God does not have life. 

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Titus 3:4-7
But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by The Holy SpiritThis is The Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life. 

John 6:40
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees The Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved. 

1 Timothy 1:16
This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst. 

    I'm a whosoever. (Romans 10:13). I am a sinner saved by grace. (Ephesians 2:8-10). Back in my youth I lived for the pleasures of sin: I overdosed and died at least once, but God brought me back: it wasn't my time yet. I am a delivered blackout alcoholic. I say delivered because when God filled me with His Holy Spirit, I no longer desired the taste of alcohol, and the smell of any of it was nauseating. So I knew that God had delivered me out of it. 
    Before receiving this Spirit of Discernment, I was gullible: I believed lies told to me and acted upon them. But God. But God filled me with His Love and His Wisdom and I began to realize I am not a stupid woman. I am intelligent. I can do the things I was told I could not do. I am not who I was, nor am I yet who I will be. I am a 'work in progress' because God is still working on me. I am a whosoever.

    Wouldn't you like to be a "whosoever", too? This is only an example of how to pray. Be honest and truthful and sincere when you talk to The Almighty God of heaven and earth. He already knows your hearts: He just waits for us to open the doors of our hearts and invite Him in. (Revelation 3:20)

Dear Lord, 
I admit I am a sinner. I am sorry for the sins I have done against Your Word. Forgive me and wash me clean. Fill me with Your precious Holy Spirit and lead me in Your Ways, that I might glorify You with my thoughts, my words, my behavior and my actions. 
Thank You, Father God, for coming to rescue me from that which would have destroyed me. Thank You, thank You, thank You. 
I praise You and worship You, Lord God. May my every breath be a testimony of Your saving grace. 
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
